Arts United is seeking artwork from individuals, businesses, schools, social clubs and arts groups for the second "Community Mosaic" project. The pieces will be tiled together and put on public display in the Arts United Center at 303 E. Main Street from February through April 2010. The theme this year is "Arts Unite Us."This is an opportunity for anyone to delve into their creative talent or to work with a group to demonstrate their affinity for the arts. Paintings will be easiest to display, but the mosaic can include stained glass, quilts, metal work or other mediums, as long as they are 3' x 3' and can be easily mounted to fit the display space.
The Community Mosaic will be unveiled at the kickoff of the annual Arts United fund drive. The public reception will take place Thursday, January 28 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Arts United Center. Prizes will be awarded based on viewer's choice votes between the unveiling and early April.
Pre-framed canvas panels can be purchased through Arts United for $18. Arts United and Northside Galleries, Inc. will mount all the panels submitted.
